My baby is growing ....Part 2

I had forgotten how wonderful it is to have a baby. Newborns are newborns, they cry, are colicy, demand for McB all the time and sleep most of the time. But once the baby reaches the 4 month, 5 month and especially 6 month milestone. Its just wonderful.

Being with Inarah now is just great. She showers me with smiles and giggles all the time. She is babling away as well. I just love hugging, cuddling and kissing her. I try very hard to let her go when I am at home as I need to spend some time with her elder sister as well.

I am a full time working mom and she spend most of the time with the maid and my mom. Its a wonderful feeling when she just wants me to carry her and refuses to go to anyone else from my arms. The bond that is between her and me is of course of a mother and child but also very much because I am breastfeeding her. I love being a mother and I love breastfeeding my baby becuase it is so rewarding

She sits well without suppport now and tries to grab at anything that is at sight and put it in her mouth. She has lots of toys which she likes banging together. Her favorite are of course, the Astro and TV remote and my handphone. She can roll over but only does it occassionally when she feels like it. She swims and can do a 360 degree turnaround.

She claps when she hears a familiar song being sung. She loves the sight of her papa, sister, nani and nana. The minute Alysha comes close to her or speaks to her she just smiles and laughs and wants to grab her and not let go. She cant get enough of her.

She hates being in the car seat and wails most of the time. She wails even more when she sees me driving or hears my voice as she wants to be in my arms.

She has started eating. Sweet potato, pears, apples, spinach, avocado, peas, rice cereal and oats. She loves it all. Surprisingly she dislikes banana.

Six months have flown by since I gave brth to the little girl and its been wonderful and I am loving every moment of it.
